Get clear answers to the most common questions about our case, the evidence, and how others can report similar fraud.
Did Mr. Tujague Jr. knowingly sell the couple a house with fundamental flaws?
Answer Based on Evidence: Yes, the evidence strongly suggests this is the case.
Upon moving in, the house was found to be full of construction debris, concealed toxic black mold, mice, scorpions, and wasps.
Structural issues were discovered, such as a cracking foundation and snakes emerging from the walls.
Texts from Tujague Jr. (e.g., August 22, 2020) contained “promises to finish the house & fix his damage,” indicating he was aware of the problems but repeatedly failed to address them.
What was the extent of the financial and personal damage caused by this alleged scam?
Answer Based on Evidence: The damages were severe and went far beyond the initial financial loss:
Repair Costs: Estimated major repairs for the house would cost at least $500,000, with yard repairs alone estimated at $68,000.
Personal/Medical Damage: The husband was forced to undergo life-saving thoracic surgery to remove a mass, a severe condition that was significantly exacerbated by prolonged exposure to the toxic black mold throughout the house.
How was the scammer (Lucien Tujague Jr.) able to file a $1 million lawsuit against his own alleged victims?
Answer Based on Evidence: He used an aggressive, complex legal strategy.
Counter-Suit: After the afflicted couple filed their initial lawsuit for fraud (around June 2021), Tujague Jr. filed a counter-lawsuit against them in August 2021.
Allegation: He accused the couple of “defaming” him.
Influence: The narrative claims he managed—”through lobbying and hiring high-profile attorneys”—to get the couple ordered to pay nearly one million dollars in damages to him.
Attempted Seizure: Furthermore, he is reportedly now attempting to seize the very house he sold them, seemingly as part of the legal fallout.
What role did the alleged 10-year HOA credit play in the scam?
Answer Based on Evidence: The credit appears to have been a trap.
In his text message (August 22, 2020), Tujague Jr. “graciously” promised to apply a 10-year credit for all Homeowners Association (HOA) fees.
The red-labeled evidence claims that he later used “Non Payment” of these fees—which theoretically should have been covered by the credit until 2030—as a pretense to foreclose on the house. This suggests the 10-year credit may have been defective, voided, or intentionally created a legal loophole that he could exploit for later legal action.
How long has this ordeal been going on?
Answer Based on Evidence: This is a long-standing, multi-year conflict.
Scam Start and Discovery: The house was bought in August 2020, with problems discovered immediately that same month or September 2020.
Period of Promises: From September 2020 to June 2021 (about 9 months), he was making promises to fix the issues.
Legal Action Commences: The couple took their first legal action in June 2021.
Counter-Suit: Tujague Jr.’s lawsuit was filed in August 2021.
Current Status: The narrative states that the situation has “escalated massively over the last 4 years,” indicating that the conflict is still ongoing from the purchase date in August 2020.
